  • PHYSIOGRAPHY and RELATED SCIENCES Precipitation May Occur As Either Rain Or Snow
    40 PHYSIOGRAPHY AND RELATED SCIENCES precipitation may occur as either rain or snow. For this reason, the accumulation of snow on the ground during the winter varies rather widely from year to year, especially on the lowlands. Snow cover is generally more reliable in the highlands. Quebec Quebec is the largest province in Canada, stretching from the International Boundary on the south to Cape Wolstenholme on Hudson Strait, a distance of 1,200 miles. In the north, treeless tundra, wasteland and unproductive forest occupy 160,000 sq. miles; pro­ ductive forest covers slightly less than 225,000 sq. miles and about 25,000 sq. miles are utilized for agriculture. Physiographically, Quebec may be divided into three main regions: the Canadian Shield or the Laurentian Plateau, which occupies the greater part of the province, extending from the rugged plateau-like highlands north of the St. Lawrence River to Hudson Strait; the St. Lawrence Lowland; and the Appalachian Highlands. The Laurentian Plateau rises from sea level on the shores of Hudson and James Bays to 1,000 feet in Abitibi, 1,500 feet in the Laurentian Mountains and about 2,000 feet along the Labrador boundary. Summits rising to 3,900 feet are found in the Laurentide Park north of Quebec City and to 3,150 feet in Mont Tremblant Park west of Montreal. In general, however, the Laurentian Plateau is a surface of unbelievable monotony, literally strewn with lakes. Extending from Alabama to Newfoundland, the Appalachian Moun­ tains include southeastern Quebec. They reach their greatest extent in the Eastern Town­ ships and their greatest heights in the Gaspe Peninsula where Quebec's highest peak, Mount Jacques Cartier rises to 4,160 feet.

  • Passing Through: the Allure of the White Mountains
    Passing Through: The Allure of the White Mountains The White Mountains presented nineteenth- century travelers with an American landscape: tamed and welcoming areas surrounded by raw and often terrifying wilderness. Drawn by the natural beauty of the area as well as geologic, botanical, and cultural curiosities, the wealthy began touring the area, seeking the sublime and inspiring. By the 1830s, many small-town tav- erns and rural farmers began lodging the new travelers as a way to make ends meet. Gradually, profit-minded entrepreneurs opened larger hotels with better facilities. The White Moun- tains became a mecca for the elite. The less well-to-do were able to join the elite after midcentury, thanks to the arrival of the railroad and an increase in the number of more affordable accommodations. The White Moun- tains, close to large East Coast populations, were alluringly beautiful. After the Civil War, a cascade of tourists from the lower-middle class to the upper class began choosing the moun- tains as their destination. A new style of travel developed as the middle-class tourists sought amusement and recreation in a packaged form. This group of travelers was used to working and commuting by the clock. Travel became more time-oriented, space-specific, and democratic. The speed of train travel, the increased numbers of guests, and a widening variety of accommodations opened the White Moun- tains to larger groups of people. As the nation turned its collective eyes west or focused on Passing Through: the benefits of industrialization, the White Mountains provided a nearby and increasingly accessible escape from the multiplying pressures The Allure of the White Mountains of modern life, but with urban comforts and amenities.

  • Lonesome Lake Distance (Round Trip): 3 1/4 Miles Walking Time: 2 3/4 Hours Vertical Rise: 1,000 Feet Difficulty : Moderate
    Lonesome Lake Distance (round trip): 3 1/4 miles Walking time: 2 3/4 hours Vertical rise: 1,000 feet Difficulty : Moderate One thousand feet above Franconia Notch is Lonesome Lake, one of the finest family hikes in the White Mountains, and a goal for climbers and visitors who take advantage of the graded trail to walk in and see a true mountain lake in a spectacular setting. No longer "lonesome," quite the opposite, the much- used trails, along with the plywood hut of the AMC, and the voices of hikers with their colorful packs and clothes, give a modern touch to the ancient scenery. The lake has been popular since the days of mountain inns after the Civil War, but still today, you cannot drive there. The only way to reach the lake is by walking. You can’t see the lake from the road below. The trail still mostly follows the old bridle path, along which many vacationers from the now-vanished hotels rode to the lake for the magnificent views of the mountains on both sides of the Notch. Legend names President Ulysses. S. Grant as one of the notable visitors. According to the story, he came to the Notch and the Profile House in 1869. A yellow coach and six bay horses driven by Ed Cox, a famous "whip," brought him from Bethlehem in fifty-five minutes—a fantastic rate of more than thirteen miles an hour. In later years, a steam train arid rails brought guests to the Profile House, -which burned in August 1923.

  • Scenic Areas of the White Mountain National Forest
    Scenic Areas of the White Mountain National Forest “Scenic Areas are places of outstanding or unique beauty that require special management to preserve their qualities. This type area will be maintained as nearly as possible in an undisturbed condition.” Secretary of Agriculture Rules and Regulations from 1960. Scenery in the Era of Tourism, Railroads and Logging: 1880-1911 Few people know much about the designation of scenic areas on the White Mountain National Forest (WMNF). Even fewer can identify all ten designated scenic areas even though they may have visited them or saw the boundaries marked on trail maps. The purpose of this article is to tell the fascinating story of designated scenic areas and to encourage the reader to visit and appreciate these special areas. Scenery played an important role in the early tourist history of the White Mountains. Artists and vacationers came in large numbers to enjoy the majestic views, clear streams and green forests starting in the 1880’s as the passenger railroads reached the mountains. The White Mountain School of Art played an important role in heralding the beauty of these mountains. The coming of the railroads brought more than tourists and artists. It brought the lumber barons who had previously skipped the White Mountain forests because of their inaccessibility. Most White Mountain rivers were unsuitable for driving logs but the technological advances of the steam engine made railroad logging practical. The huge demand for lumber for a growing America attracted investment and large-scale removal of the lush mountainsides covered with spruce forests. New Hampshire led the nation in spruce production for the decade of 1890-1900 with production peaking in 1907.

  • Cannon Mountain Distance (Round Trip) : 7 1/2 Miles Walking Time : 5 1/2 Hours Vertical Rise : 2,100 Feet
    Cannon Mountain Distance (round trip) : 7 1/2 miles Walking time : 5 1/2 hours Vertical rise : 2,100 feet You can ride in a Tramway cable car to the summit, so why climb Cannon Mountain on foot? Because only your own two legs can make the mountain yours. Somehow this also improves the magnificent views of Franconia Notch and Mount Lafayette. For hikers aiming to climb all 4,000-footers, Cannon qualifies by 100 feet. Skiers who have swooped down the snowy trails find that a summer climb, which pits them against this solid height unaided by Tramway or T-bars, gives the mountain new meaning. A rounded block seen from the Notch, Cannon's stark cliffs loom before you as you drive north on the parkway toward the Old Man. The mountain appears as a mass of stone on which evergreens cling with minimum success. Approach from the north, and you see its grassy ski slopes and trails like high pastures and giant paths down through the woods. For a loop over the summit, climb the Kinsman Ridge Trail from the north and descend by the Hi-Cannon and Lonesome Lake Trails, returning through the Notch to your car via the northern extension of the Pemi Trail. The Kinsman Ridge Trail begins its zigzag climb about .3 mile south of the Tramway. Watch for the main Old Man exit from the parkway and park your car. The asphalt covers a vanished field known as Profile clearing. It was once the site of the immense Profile House. As you leave your car, look up at the silhouette of the ridge south from the tramway.
